Wyndham Sued Over Worthless Club Membership in Arkansas

Wyndham Sued Over Worthless Club Membership in Arkansas

Wyndham has been hit with a class action lawsuit that claims it takes advantage of property owners at an Arkansas resort.

Wyndham has reportedly been selling real property lots located in the Fairfield Bay Ozark Mountain Lake Resort & Community for at least 45 years. The amenities at the resort are reportedly comparable to a “five-star resort” and the community is described as “active, engaging, versatile, and accomplished.”

But the issue is that Wyndham is forcing owners to join a “club” that involves a monthly fee of $30. Those who join the club reportedly “shall be entitled to the rights, privileges, and benefits of a member.” But, plaintiff Gordon Jackson claims that there are actually no club benefits at all. Jackson estimates that Wyndham may have made millions of dollars from this deceptive practice. With around 300 lots in the Fairfield Bay Ozark Mountain Lake Resort, an average ownership of 30 years, and an average assessment charge of $30 per month, Jackson calculates that Wyndham has collected $3.24 million in club fees.

Additionally, Wyndham reportedly promised various improvements to roads, water, electricity, and other utilities when showing properties to consumers, but these improvements were never made.

The Wyndham Resort Club Fees Class Action Lawsuit is Jackson v. Wyndham Destinations Inc., Case No. 71CV-19-36, in the Circuit Court of Van Buren County, Arkansas.
